Why does a smart thermometer report extreme humidity only when placed near a window?
Our answer
Move the sensor away from window condensation and direct sunlight, then let it acclimatise before reading.
Why this approach makes sense
Device software, permissions and connected services change how a feature behaves; use settings for the actual model rather than a generic workaround.
Before you try it
Verify the relevant device and account permissions, and make changes one at a time.
